Duo gets stuck in mud during burglary, deputies say

A couple of accused burglars have mud on their faces after they got stuck in the mud trying to get away, Volusia County deputies said.

Matthew Swaggerty, 21, and 20-year-old Timothy Marrison were caught a few doors down from a home in Debary that investigators said they just hit.

The men are accused of taking more than $30,000 worth of items from homes and cars, including a victim's cellphone that had a GPS tracker.

Deputies said they pinged the phone and found the men outside down the street because their vehicle was stuck in the mud.

The duo is accused of stealing a shovel from a neighbor's shed to try to dig their way out, said investigators.

Marrison wept in the courtroom when he made his first appearance before the judge, where he learned he'd be held without bond. He's considered a violent felony offender, previously convicted. Same for Swaggerty.

Swaggerty tried to convince the judge that he's not a flight risk.

"I'm nowhere near a flight risk at all. All I do is work every day. I would not dream of it," he said.

Police believe the items came from multiple homes and cars in the area. More charges could be coming.
